Mutualité Française Nouvelle-Aquitaine

About Mutualité Française Nouvelle-Aquitaine

A major player in the social and solidarity economy, the French Mutualité, chaired by Eric Chenut, represents nearly 500 mutual insurance companies. Born from the desire of women and men to mutually protect themselves from life's uncertainties, mutual insurance companies are non-profit organizations. They are chaired by elected mutualist activists. They work for the social protection of 32 million French people and promote everyone's right to full health by acting in complementarity and partnership with Social Security and by contributing to public health services. Mutual insurance companies, groups, and unions offer solutions in three areas of activity: supplementary health insurance, disability and long-term care, and savings and retirement. With more than 2,900 mutualist care and support services, they play a major role in access to care in local areas at a controlled cost. They are also the leading private player in health prevention through actions deployed throughout the country. On a daily basis, members of the French Mutualité implement its purpose around three areas of commitment - proximity, participation, and innovation: "Protecting each other today to, together, build the solidarities of tomorrow."
